Study Notes
Immunity and Antibody Production
- Active immunity is acquired through vaccination or exposure to a pathogen, providing long-term protection against specific diseases.
Antibody Production
- B cells, also known as B lymphocytes, are responsible for the production of antibodies in the immune system.
Memory Cells
- The primary function of memory cells in the immune system is to remember specific pathogens, allowing for a rapid and more effective response upon subsequent exposure.
